David Semel will direct 1st episode

Kind of interesting that they are calling it “the upcoming Star Trek reboot series”. But I guess it's just speculation on the author's part. I didn't know we would get news about the show this weekend. I'm looking forward to it!

Despite the narrowness with which fans tend to use the term, in industry usage "reboot" can refer to any revival of a dormant franchise, regardless of whether it's a continuation or reinvention. The term only came to be associated with continuity resets because it was popularized among fans by the Battlestar Galactica remake.

That said, I'm hoping it is a full reboot in the continuity-reset sense. Not only do I think that would be more liberating and creatively interesting, but as a writer of Trek tie-in fiction I'd prefer not to have my Prime-universe books contradicted by new canon.
